Whenever, If Ever is the debut studio album by American indie rock band The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die that brought acclaim from Pitchfork and the wider indie alternative music space.
The group released their lone LP in the spring of 1995 and broke up while on tour later that summer. Members would continue making music in bands like The Promise Ring, Joan Of Arc and American Football.
Pitchfork calls the album "a touchstone of Midwestern emo," while Vulture placed "Little League" at #3 on their 100 Greatest Emo Songs of All Time list.
The album of different artists coving their 1999 debut showcases how American Football's music has influenced a wide range of artists across different genres.
American Football performed two sold out shows at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles, part of the band's 25th anniversary tour for their self-titled debut album.
In the years since it's release, American Football's self-titled debut full-length has quietly become one of the most fiercely beloved titles in the Polyvinyl catalog.
